Boro, little bogeys they are. This all depends on how we return from Rome I suppose. If Roma give us a hard game the lads will be tired and some changes made. I am hoping for a fully fit squad to visit The Riverside. 3 points a beggin' !!!

I'm hoping the trip to Rome won't affect us too badly for this game. We don't play until Sunday lunchtime so we have a bit of recovery time.

On paper we should beat Boro easily but we always seem to find it tough at the Riverside.

Exactly.

But I think the win just adds to our confidence and momentum and we'll get the win.

1-3 to us.

the team should be beaming with confidence after the roma match, i expect fergie to rest ronaldo or rooney, one of them, for the roma game next week. no problem with 3 pts, as boro struggles to get goals this season, so comfortable 0-3.

hmmm i think fergie might give guys like fletcher a chance. maybe saha would come in too for rooney and giggs in for ronaldo, which means park would be in the team too. its crucial to give both ronaldo and rooney a rest, and maybe put them on the bench in case anything goes wrong as boro are a bogey team. but that said, i believe the reserves have enough quality to finish a side like boro.

fletcher is out with an injury...

giggs should start since he was rested at rome and maybe nani if he comes back from injury..i also heard gary neville will be back and brown will move to cb since vida is out

manutd 2 - 0 middlesbrough
they should watch out for complacency tho
both goals by anderson

[reddwarf]

I think Fletcher is out for another 5 weeks and Saha is out for another 1-2 weeks.

I assume Fergie took Rooney off for the last few minutes last night so that he could start him against Boro.

Hopefully Nani will be back, Giggs was rested last night and other than Vidic I haven't heard of any other injuries we picked up so we'll have a strong squad to choose from.

No rest for the weary! Play the best 11 available, and lets get this wrapped up so we can concentrate on the CL.

You never know, maybe cideh and 'pool will do us a favor this weekend!
